Ron, I thing you have sell the spread in 3.65. Not 4.65. Is it right?

Thanks

One digit wrong and I have messed up a whole page of the thread.

tinaturner check the original post to see the correct strikes. 4.65 is correct.

I am looking to sell a credit put spread -2,+3 for the month of July but the TOS margin seems high. The predicted mROI is about 1.5% can some one tell me what the margin is?SPAN?

Hello Ron
I'm using XLS-SPAN but when I want to get the euro options chain it does not work. I use E6, EC, 6E but no symbol gives results. When I use ES there is no problem.
I have marked (x) E6, EC, 6E to download the data In the sheet parameters.
Any idea what the problem may be?
The same thing happens with GBP and JPY.

Thank you

Questions about XLS-SPAN should be asked in the PC-SPAN thread.

When you ask it there either give a screen shot or give us details of what you are entering where.

No, not recently.

I do not intend to sell corn calls in the near future, as in Brazil we are in a severe weather market. In case it stays dry, pollination of the second crop will be a problem.

Best regards, Myrrdin

Hello Ron
From your long experience selling options, do you think the -2 +3, 90-120 DTE strategy could be applied to the CL futures options?
Any comment will be appreciated

Thanks for your answers.
Also to Dudetooth.
